A: I am committed to being present and delivering tangible progress by combining methods that have traditionally worked with new, innovative ideas. District 1 is the most dynamic district in Leon County because it encompasses historically rich neighborhoods and two major universities, Florida A&M University and Florida State University. The issues that plague our community — whether it be crime, insufficient housing, gentrification, or the lack of educational opportunity — all share the common denominator of poverty. Hand in hand with the community, we will tackle these issues by promoting jobs, smart development, and the inclusion of the all people in the decision making process.

Q: What are the principle differences between you and your opponent?

A: I will take accountability for my actions and continuously strive to make life easier for the people of my community. I have unwavering hope in our community's future and firmly believe that we can change for the better. I am committed to putting my personal biases aside for the greater good of the people and refuse to sit idle as the power of the people diminishes. Our community's youth and women, particularly those of color, are facing issues at a higher rate than any other group. Now, more than ever, the people in my district desperately need someone who is relatable, understanding, and willing to listen to them.

Q: What would you do to bring prosperity to District 1?

A: Tallahassee Leon Federal Credit Union will unfold a Cities of Financial Empowerment Program at the start of 2019.

Q: What are the principle differences between you and your opponent?

A: Tallahassee is my home and District One is my heart. Knowing the Tallahassee economic structures is a strength achieved over time. This combination of love and knowledge energizes me with the same stand up ability, advocacy and funkability.
